One of the choicest pieces of prop
erty in Los Angeles county, and long
known as the Cooperative Orange
Grove, consisting OF ninety-four acres
located between New Main, San Pedro
and jefferson streets, in the southerly
part of this city, has recently been
purchased by an enterprising and
wealthy corporation of Los Angeles.
1t is now subdivided into choice resi-
dence lots, and will be offered at pri-
vate sale on Thursday, December Sth,
next.
The attractions of this property are
such that President Bovard, D. d., Of
the University of Southern Californ q,
has chosen this place in preference to
all others to erect fine college build,
ing at an expense of $50 900 to $75 900
to be completed for the commence
ment of the college year on the first OF
September next.
The college grounds consist of a
campus OF five acres, which will be
beautifully ornamented with tropical
trees, plants and shrubbery, and sur
rounded wi h cement walks.

The Government postoffice being
located at the corner of Main and
Winston streets, and a hotel costing
$3.50, 900 being erected at the corner OF
Main and Tenth street, Harvard Place

provements which the city is making,
and no human power can stay the g.

making, and which will soon place
her in the enviable position of the
metropolis of the Pacific Coast.

SPECTATORS READ THIS.

The above description of Anaheim
will be found true in all respects. Go
and see before you buy elsewhere.
True as it is, it is only half the truth.
This town lies in the center OF an i'm
mense area of the finest land on the
good green earth. This stretch OF
country extends for from IA to 80
miles around. 1t takes in the rich
North Anaheim and Placentia country
on the north. Here the new town OF
Fullerton is going up at marvellous
pace. 1t has hotel, great many
fine residences, and these are being
added to daily. To the south lies the
richest grain, fruit and dairy district
in the State. All about vines, oranges,
nuts, and all the citrus, deciduous,
semitropic and other fruits grown to
perfection. There is railroad to An
aheim, now, with trains twice each
way daily. There is another railroad
the California Central, now being
built from this point to Los Angeles.
It will be in operation by the end of
the year. The s. P. Company con-
templates Il e construction OF line
from their depot in Anaheim through
North Anaheim, Fullerton and Placen-
tia. A company is now organized to
build railroad from Anaheim to An
aheim Landing, where. a harbor is to
be constructed in the near future.
Anaheim is, therefore, to be the
center OF a very considerable system
OF railroads. She will grow from this
on in population, business, wealth and
all the elements OF prosperous place.
Remember the boom has just begun
here. Anaheim real estate has scarce
ly risen in price beyond the figures
ruling three or four years ago. While
all around lands are selling at $500,
$500 and $1,000 per acre, the pick OF
Anaheim is still to be had away below
the lowest figure above. With a good
business. unrivaled soil, the best
climate in the country, the most abun-
dant supply of water, crystal clear,
Anahe.m lands are held at less than
half the figures asked elsewhere for
property in all respects less desirable
than this. NoW Is the time TO buy.
The boom is on and it will swell to a
full tide in few weeks.

INVESTORS READ THIS.

A week or two ago there came tc
Anaheim ten families, seeking houses
to rent, while they could buy a lot and
build for themselves. There was not
one cottage even to divide with the
ten families. There is not store to
be had to open new business. There
is demand for houses and stores.
Anaheim has two amusement halls,
but she needs fine opera house. The
citizens are contemplating the erection
OF one. ANY person who will build a
house in Anaheim will rent it at q
good per centage ON its cost the day it is
built. He who will put up store will
find tenant as quickly. His money
will be invested we'll Tor all time to
come. There is room for great ex-
pansion, the growth has begun and ii
will continue.

were pouring In from the Fast, West
md North. They are coming from
avery nationality on the globe, with
various creeds and beliefs. Our sa-
looms are gilded to the height OF temp
tation and we must establish places of
entertainment, etc. 1t makes me glad
70 think the people here in Los Ange-
les have aroused to the necessity OF
having t, is institution started, and
may Christ ever stand as guard to
his worthy cornerstone.
The embryo of this society was started
torly-three years ago in London by
leo. Williams. He was but poor
hoy who earned his bread by working
in factory. One evening he invited
some boys to his place to read book
which he had secured. TIL organlzd-
ton has grown from that little meeting
70 over 6 ,001 900 in membership. In
1884 was at the Worl rs Convention
and met Mr.. Williams, the originator,
and asked him ii he ever expected to
zee this society grow to such an ex
tent. In reply he said it had gone
| away ahead of his comprehension,
although now it is but in its youth.
| While we were in Berlin the Emperor
of Germany was interviewed and
asked to express his opinion. He re-
piled that they were one of the great
est institutions OF the rid. In New
York such men as Cornelius Wander
bilt and Chauncy Depew helped to
establish bui ding for the young
men employed bv the railroad depart
ment, and 10000 persons are now
members of that society. We are
from the churches, but l know OF no
church that has done SO much to ele-
vate the moral and social standing OF
young men as this society. l owe my
success to this society, for it was ITS
members who took me and helped
me when l was almost friendless.
At the conclusion OF the address the
stone was dedicated with the follow.
ing contents: Last report of the Board
of Trade of this city; copies OF the
following daily papers: Times Tribune.
Sun, Express, Southern California Bdp-
fist, Southern California AdUocate and

date of the origin of the society; the

names of the present pastors in Los
Angeles the last annual report OF the
Association with the names OF the
officers; a pamphlet containing cuts
OF the building, and copy OF the re
vised Testament; also a copy OF the
worlds week of prayer.
The exercises were closed by sing
ling, and the benediction was pro
nounced by Rev. Mr.. Hesler.

FAIR AN AHEIM
Home-Seekers, Read Care
fully This Column.

Anaheim is the oldest colony in
Southern California. The settlers
who, in 1857, selected this spot were
men of experience in all the varied
affairs of life. They looked all over
the State and pitched upon Anaheim
as, in all respects, the most attractive
spot they encountered. The history
of the past thirty years, the wealth OF
the old settlers, the business done in
the town and the products OF the sec
ton fully justify the choice made by
these president colonists.
Anaheim is situated about 26 miles
southeast of Los Angeles on a branch
of the S. P. Railway, which is soon to
be developed into a main line, termi-.-
ating at San Diego. The town is four
teen miles from the Pacific ocean, at
small bay known as the Anahelm
Landing. There are about $500 peo-
pie in the town OF to-day, and there
are churches of all the leading de-
nominations, fine public school
about the best in the county-stores
stocked with goods of all sorts, in
abundant supply and OF the ve.y best
in the market. There is bank and a
good hotel-with second now build
ing and third quite certain soon tc
be begun. Then a large and finely
equipped girls school will be erected
at a very early day. The ground has
been bought-an ample piece, three
and half acres in the very heart o.
the town-and the plans are being
drawn. The streets in Anahehn are
laid out with regularity and they are
broad and smooth, with sidewalks
and many of them are aligned with
fine shade trees. The residences Ii
the town are model of neatness anC
comfort. The gardens bloom will
rare flowers at all seasons of the year
and everything bears an aspect o
! CuSi' es' OhN
rarely encounters in any town in any
section of the country.
For healthfulness fair Anaheim has
no rival on the coast. The town site
lies on ridge OF land, and the con
tour slopes gently from Anaheim, fall
ing away to the cast towards the
Santa Ana river, to the west towards
wide wash and southerly towards
the ocean. The soil is quite pourou'
and this contour of the land and the
character OF the soil furnish a system
OF natural drainage which is quite
perfect.
The climate of Anaheim cannot be
surpassed in Southern California
Northerly lie range of high mount
aims and IA miles to the south is the
sea. The air currents come from the
southwest and are always refreshing
and bracing because of their pass age
over the unreasonable eXpanses o
the Pacific ocean. Here is the place
for healthful, happy homes for al
corners in search OF the very best O
Southern California.
